It turns out configure didn't find 'ar', and used 'false' instead.  Once
I re-ran configure with AR=ar, everything compiled.  (For some reason,
configure doesn't find a number of tools in my path: gcc, ar, awk, sed,
ld, and pkg-config.  With other packages, their configure finds things
that are in my path).


I didn't actually figure this out myself.  I found a discussion of my
original problem on the cURL mailing list archive after searching for
"false cru".
